Finally, after years of hype and buildup, CONSOL Energy Center will officially make its regular-season debut on Thursday night when the Penguins begin the 2010-11 campaign by hosting the Philadelphia Flyers at 7 p.m. in a nationally-televised contest on Versus.

I'm so jealous of everyone who will be in the new Arena tonight for the start of the season and start of a new era in Pittsburgh sports. There's no better team to be playing than the Flyers. I can't wait to watch it.

How proud must Mario be today? He's had many great moments, 3 cups, come backs from cancer and retirements but I think this may very well be his biggest moment. Thank You big guy! The night is yours, enjoy the moment you deserve it!

Well just past halfway and we're still losing, man that would suck to lose to the Flyers in the opening of the new building. On a separate note, how awesome is the Flyers goalie's name? BOBS is a great nickname.

Well we played well enough to win, Bobs was just a damn good goalie tonight. Those things happen, long way to go.

We needed more from our superstars, 87, 71 were held in check all night...

It was almost as if they were skating in slow motion. They didn't have that extra jump in their legs. The Ruskie rookie won it for the Flyers. We'll be fine I look for Comrie to have a great year. It's going to be a battle all year with the Devils and Flyers.

MAF needs to ride the pine until he can start making the easy stops, he's playing bad right now...
